Eric Teusink Considers bid for HD59 Seat

It appears we have a second candidate to replace Margaret Kaiser for the HD-59 seat representing part of Atlanta.

Eric Teusink, a lawyer and longtime activist in the Democratic Party of Georgia said in a statement to Peach Pundit that he is looking at running for Kaiser’s seat.

He said:

“The service and leadership of our elected officials and community leaders have a profound impact on people’s everyday lives. For many years, I have been fortunate enough to be able to work on behalf of my community at a grassroots level. My friend and mentor Representative Margaret Kaiser’s recent decision to run for Mayor of Atlanta has presented me with a unique opportunity. Should she choose not to seek reelection in House District 59, I do not see how I could possibly pass up a chance to represent the community I love while working to make our state a better place for all Georgians.”
